Where was Edward?
Mar 27th, 2009 | By Kallieross | Category: Featured Articles, Question of the Week
This week we want YOU to tell us where you think Edward was! In addition, we also want to know what you thought of Bella’s reaction to Edward (and the rest of the Cullens) bolting! So here ya go…
I think he went to Italy. I think I would have reacted a little the same as Bella. How else could she react?
i think he went to Denali to see Tanya and the rest of her clan but mainly Tanya
i think Bella acted how every teenager would react when their loved one, the one who they spent practically every living moment with just left of course she was going to react like that she thought she was never going to see him again
We think Edward went to Alaska, because that’s where his other relatives are. Also, it’s kind of close to Washington, so if there was an emergency (like if Victoria came back) he could come rescue her, because even if they broke up, he would still have feelings for her.
We think that it was perfectly rational. The love of her life left her. I think we’d all react the same.
i don’t think he went anywhere in perticular, he admitted to bella in new moon that he basically curled up in a hole because he couldn’t go on without her, i just think he roamed around going anywhere he thought would distract him from everything he lost but knowing anyway that it was a hopless attempt! Edward knew he couldn’t stay with his family for a long period of time considering the black mood he would have cast over the cullen house so i don’t really know where he went, he has a very complex mind.
i think bellas reaction to edward leaving was perfectly rational, she believed that he would be with her forever and always – he told her enough times! and what they had was so special that i don’t think anyone would doubt it. so for edward to do that to her (from telling how much he loved her) to going completely cold and harsh and taking away all those loved words by replacing by just those few he said in the forest ” our kind are easily distracted” “i’m tired of acting human for you” i think she would have acted like anyone else in that position.
i think edward was just trying to get as far away as he could and was not thinking. he was probably taking on his vampire side and going with what his insticts told him. but then he might of caught a scent of victoria and started to follow her scent. by doing this he showed himself tha he really did care about bella so when rosalie called him saying bella was dead he acted and tried to kill himself.
I think Edward went somehere far away from Bella like to Italy. So he would not be tempted to visit Bella. Maybe he stayed underground and never went out into the world.
I think Bella reacted like how any girl would act when she lost the love of her life. Bella probably cried herself to every night. She probably thought of all the good times she had with Edward.
Well we know that he was trying to track Victoria so he went south to Texas and then Alice tells Charlie that last she knew he was in South America. So I think he was tracking Victoria and when he lost her sent he gave up and hid. I don’t think he moved much, he would only go out when he HAD to hunt. Other than that he would stay hidden away until he got the call from Rosalie saying that Bella was dead and thats when he left for Italy. Now Bella isn’t going to react like everyone else because the love she lost was greater than any other love so she didn’t know how to go on. Edward was so much a part of who she is that when he left we wasn’t herself and was torn apart. Only when he returns she is able to feel like herself.
I think, at first, that he chose Alaska. It was the one place that he could go where he wouldn’t have to apologize for who he was or what he had done. But I think that, very soon, being around the love that his cousins shared for one another and for him was just too much for his heart to bear, and he started roaming aimlessly, not even bothering to stay in touch with anyone for a while. I think his wandering eventually brought hime to South america, where Emmett and Roaslie were. I really think that of all his family, Rosalie was the easiest to be around, because with her, there would be NO talk of Bella. And when Alice “saw” Bella commit suicide, Rosalie was the one who told him. He was fulfiling his part of the promise he made to both Bella and to himself when he finally made it to Italy… he didn’t want to continue to exisit in a world that no longer had Bella in it.
As for bella’s reaction, I can empathize. The love of her existence, who swore to her in that Phoenix hospital that he was there for her as long as she wanted him to be, yanked her planned future and all her dreams and desires out from under her with 5 words- “I don’t want you anymore”. Something that devestating was bound to do damage to her. He left her alone and hollowed out (taking her heart and her desire with him) to try and come to terms with what might have been…and left in his wake a semi-functioning zombie who took to defying his memory in order to feel close to the only world she ever wanted and ever truly belonged in. Jacob tries to tell Edward that if he had never come back, Bella would have been ok, but she still would have been hollow in the part of her that Edward took with him, knowing that she had settled. What else could she do?
*Part 1*
Where Edwardt went….
There is an “extra” tab in Stephenie Meyer’s website that says, at one time, he was in a “dark attic crawl space” with lots of rats and spiders. There was also a “loud spanish clamor”. I’m trying to find where I read that he even tried tracking Victoria for a little bit, but realized he wasn’t good at tracking. I’ll find it and it will probably be in a part 2 post? hahaha
Bella’s reaction…
I felt her pain! She accepted that Edward was her one-and-only! So when he left, it was like her insides just died. Sometimes it can be such a blow that its hard to shake it off and pull yourself together. Bella had to heal a very broken heart. Sometimes not that easy to do. :0)
I love your pod casts!!!
i think that edward is the type of person who would just want to be alone after doing something like that. Some people would surrond themselves with others or find someone new but edward is more secluded so i think that he would of just drove around aimlessly mayb hunting here and there doing nothing in particular but just brooding and being alone. then once he got over that he might go visit his family.
i think that bellas reaction was over the top if she had been just a normal teenager in a normal teenage relationship but i think that it is important to understand that she wasnt. their relationship was so much more than that. they saw eachother all the time and she didnt have any really good friends that she could talk about it with after it happened so it was like she had no1 there to comfort her because she could not talk about. I remember renee saying how she was never a teenager just middle age so i compare edward and bellas breakup more to someone running out of an intense marriage so to me her reaction was justified.
i feel bellas pain sooooooooo much. she is actining how anyone else would but with more reason. i think edward went with his family lived life like Bella never existed but after a while he could’t bear to b away any longer. this book was filled with so much compassion and hatred and regret, pain love fear committment and so much more.
Kristina E ( 7) and Beverly ( 9 ) Have it right. He does tell Bella about his tracking Victoria down south to Texas and following a false lead to Rio. This is where Beverly is correct, on StephenieMeyer.com in the extras section of new moon there is something Stephenie wrote called Rosalie’s news that tells her side of the phone call she made to Edward and how that all went, and it states that he was in a crawl space with mice and spiders and he could hear the Spanish speaking in the kitchen below him. Hope this brings a bit more insight to some.
As for Bella’s reaction, I’m so with her. It is far more than A teenager with a crush. This was forever. She was already had somewhat low self esteem of herself, especially when it came to being worthy of Edward Cullen’s beauty, and when he tells her that he doesn’t want her no more, how could she not be so devastated? To her, it confirmed all her inadequate views of herself, and any one would be crushed.
Just one last thing, on the same area of extra’s for new moon on Stephenie’s page Check out Being Jacob Black.
I believe Edward left his family and just wandered around like a nomadic. Steph had an outtake with him in Brazil living in some nasty attic, with rats and spiders. He was just as depressed at Bella and couldn’t stop thinking of her.
Bella’s reaction to Edward leaving was a little too much and it dragged on for way too long in the book. I can understand that Steph had to build up the relationship between Bella and Jake, but Bella should have snapped out of that long before Edward was back in the picture. She’s supposed to be a strong young lady and I would have imagined her bouncing back a lot quicker. I have a theory about that. Being with a vampire can be stressful and probably takes a lot of adrenalin out of you. I wonder if Bella became a adrenalin junky when she was with Edward and went through withdrawals after he left. Then she found a new adrenalin outlet by doing all that crazy stuff, jumping of cliffs and riding motorcycles. Just a thought. What do you guys think??
Meg :o)
Well, he said that he tracked Victoria for a while. And that that led him to Mexico. (because he’s not good at tracking and she was never in Mexico) And from some of the stuff on Stephenie’s website, we know that when Rosalie called him and told him that Bella was dead, he was still in Mexico.
didnt he go to Tanya and hide in a cave? I would react the same way as bella because he was the live of her life.. but i dont think my life would be normal again after 6 months..and i would also try to get him back! i cant belive bella didnt try to get him back!
OH.MY.EDWARD! This is my favorite discussion!!!! I think that Eddy-cutie-pie-cullen was hiding in small, ghost towns thinking of Bella non stop. I also think that since Edward can have a bit of a morbid side, he would walk around cemetaries late at night and see a name that would make him think of Bella and he would be tempted to go to her but would fight it off when he thought that he realized that if he stayed with her he would be basiclly giving her a tomb stone. But if Edward ever wanted to leave Bella and come see me, tell him I will gladly take him in…*grins* I LOVE YOUR PODCAST!!!
Ok. GREAT QUESTION!!!!!!! So I say wuld say that Edward was in Brazil, but he was actually visiting ME!!!!! Just Kidding, I wish. But i am goin 2 guess that he was all around the world. He may have visited his hometown (Chicago, if you didnt know that) and went to see places he may have one day showed Bella. These places include his home and the hospital where Carlisle changed him!!! And as for Bella’s reaction. Seriously?? We have ALL been there (maybe not with a vampire, but u get wht im sayin) I have 9 words for Bella. Suck. It. Up. And. Get. On. With. Your. Life. That may sound harsh but it’s true. Love the podcast girls. Keep it up
Hey Kallie and Kassie,
I always imagined Edward off in Africa chasing Gazelles and Lion’s. As for the Cullen family I think that they may have gone to Alaska with the Denali or they may have gone to a really rainy town or maybe they just stayed in Forks hiding from Bella!
I also think that Bella’s reaction to Edward leaving was a completly appropritate for the situation how you would reacte could be completly different than what Bella was feeling or thinking at the time!
I love the podcast keep them coming!!
Edward was at my house the whole time 🙂
In the Midnight Sun Draft on Stephenie Meyer’s website, in chapter two, Edward is in Denali. He goes there because he is ashamed of himself. Being there doesn’t help him, so he goes back home. I think he started talking to Bella to help him control himself. Earlier in the book, Alice says to Jasper, “It helps a little if you think of them as people.” I believe Edward was trying to think of Bella as a person, not prey.
I think Edward wandered to Texas after Victoria and then ended up in S. America. I’m glad we only hear Bella’s side of the break-up, imagine how hard it was for HIM! Although I was soooo mad at him through the entire rest of the book I totally forgave him once they were reunited.
Bella’s reaction was just enough dramatic but not over-the-top crazy. I practically had the same reaction and all I did was read that part! Of course I did not have a cool werewolf (or forest for that matter) to come rescue me.
At first I’m sure he went to get his family, Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Jasper settled because he feels guilty and responsible for all the trouble he has caused. Then after a very short time can no long stand Alice and what she knows to be true and is too stubborn to give into his heart. So he bolts and decides to try his hand at tracking. I’m sure he could pick up Victoria’s scent in a lot of places considering how nomadic she is and I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t rope Laurant into spreading her scent around to throw Edward off. I see Edward tracking at night and sulking during the day.
Fortunatly for Edward he probably went far away from Bella as possible lol
Edward prob went to Tanya then track victoria
I ,personally cant stand Bella but i guess she acted like every one else would if Edward Cullen !!!
But shes a complainer and is annoying
😀
Edward was in Ireland, with me 😀
Hi guys. I know you love hearing this.. I LOVEEE YOUR SHOW (cause who doesnt like to toot there own horn)
I think that durning this time, i see Edward in dark places. Places were he can be alone. When the pain with not being with bella would kill him..
And I also see him on his piano. Playing her lullaby and other songs. Edward seems to LOVE his music and I think that is anouther place he would really enjoy.
Bella reaction was normal but a little over the top. Now yes people say it was REALLY over the top but none of us know what it is like to loose someone that your love was THAT strong. (heck, loosing edward cullen would just be enough for me)
i think edward went aimlessly around the country for a little while and then settled on a dark corner somewhere in texas where he could just wallow i his on sadness
after being in texas for a while he probably crossed victorias scent and started tracking her for the distraction but when he would lose her scent he would go back to his dark corner in the south and roll up in a little ball.
bellas reaction was completely normal and im actually really proud of her for going on normally for charlie i know if it was me i would have been selfish and just rolled up in a little ball forever (come on its edward cullen!)
LOVE THE SHOW MUCHO !!!!!!!!!
oh and the other cullens didnt understand the feelings that edward had for bella they didnt think it was possible for him to love someone human that much and even though the other cullens had kind feelings for bella (excluding rose ofcourse) so they didnt understand why he would want to get away from the family for any reason
HE WAS IN SOMEONE’S ATTIC SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH AMERICA!
I think that bella over reacted with edwards good-bye.for me edward was acting stupid for leaving bella and breaking her heart!
I READ “MIDNIGHT SUN” THAT STEPHENIE PUT ON HER WEBSITE!
Truthfully, Edward Showed Up At My Doorstep That Day 🙂
The Story Goes: Edward Was So Depressed That He Needed Somebody To Be His Friend. He Had Been Looking Around On Myspace For Girls Similar To Bella Who Lived In Overcasted Parts Of The Country. He Came Upon Me And Dropped His Jaw. He Rigth Away Ran To My House In Oregon And Rang My Doorstep (This Whole Process Toke A Matter Of 3 Minutes After He Dumped Bella) Yes He Was Sad, But I Took Him 2 Rehab And He Was Smiley Once More! During The Part Where He Said, “I Was Tracking Victoria, Though Im Not Very Good At It.” My Mothers Name Is Victoria, And Whenever He Needed Her To Do A Favor For Him He Could Never Locate It, As He Said He Ended Up In Africa He Ment My African Themed Bathroom In Which She Had Cleaned Earlier That Day. After A Few Months Of Staying In The Guest Room We Went On A Famly Vacation To Mexico. Me And Edward Played Hide And Seek And He Hid In An Old Icky Attic. He Soon Recieved A Phone Call From Rosalie And Well You No The Rest 🙂
NICE ONE SONEE….HE HE HE HE ….THAT WAS FUNNIE 🙂
EDWARD was shaking in a corner thinking, and as we all know he was “Tracking” victoria and messed up?…its that easy!
I think he went to a vast forest and attack and eat animals.
Hmmm… I don’t really know. If I were him with speed strength and a whole lot of money, I would go on a cruise, but that’s just me. I can’t really imagine Edward on a cruise =P He would sparkle too much and get attacked by fan girls. He probably went to a very rainy place, like Portland, Oregon. There he would lie low. Well, actually not Portland. Too close to Bella, he would be tempted. Maybe to Europe, a whole ocean away. Oh! To Romania!
i think edward went to south america cause thats wat alice mentions in the book when she comes back
like he was probly trying to forget about her. i think that bellas reaction to the break up was really heart
breaking cause she was soo sad she couldnt even listen to music or like just be aound anybody cause she was soo heart
broken it kinda made me feel sorry 4 her.
well love the podcast
bye 4 know
TEAM JACOB/TAYLOR 4 EVER
i think edward went to alaska to c tanya.he probably thought that tanya could feel the whole.when he got there i think he realized it was a wasted effort.flooded with thoughts of bella he went back to forks to stalk bella to fill the whole he was feeling. as soon as he realized that if he took her back it would only put her in danger. after that he went to italy for a couple of weeks to ponder if he was going to join the volturi. but when he though bella was dead thats when the whole “im going to kill myself” stunt started
p.s.
i love the show
At the end of New Moon, Edward says that he was tracking Victoria while he was away from Bella. He said he followed her to the south, like Texas, and then down to South America. (he wasn’t even on the same continent as Bella for most of the book, how sad!) Also on Stephenie Meyer’s website on the New Moon extras, there is a quote that Edward says that he was listening to the thoughts of others and they were in Spanish when he found out Bella was “dead”.
I think Bella’s reaction to Edward leaving is very real. Although, if it were me, I would probably be crying all the time and never be able to really stop crying! Bella’s reaction is not over the top at all.
P.S.
You guys are great, and keep up the great podcasts! I love listening to you guys!
***WHERE WAS EDWAD?
Y’all don’t know it but he came and stayed at my house.
Plot: Needing seclusion from going stark mad (the crazy mad) for loosing his ‘amore’, he came to his long lost friend, Mayra (moi) and stayed with me. I tried to console him as much as I could because he was so heartbroken. I could tell he tried his hardest not to spring right back to Forks. Together, we traveled around the world, searching around for Victoria. He knew it was dangerous for me because (sadly) I’m only human but I replied that he was there to protect me. Being as stubborn as he was, he had no choice but to let me come along and supervise his hunt so as he could not do himself more internal damage, because – i argued – that Bella or no Bella at his side, she would not allow him to be hurt because of her.
I’m sad to report I received a few calls from Alice in the time he was at my house but I was careful not to think about it (by wrapping paper foil on my head like in the movies ‘SIGNS’ starring Mel Gibson) so as he could not notice. But I have the suspicion that he somehow knows by now. During his stay, we caught up from the last time he came to the south and met me. We became instant friends (but only friends…because I knew there was someone there for him out there).
When we received Rosaline’s phone call, I told him it was time to go back. That I would always be here for him whenever he (and/or bella) needed me. Basically throwing him out my door to back, Edward went back. And you guys know where it goes from there….
Lol. Yea…right. 😀 (This was fun to write though)
*** WEEK #52 THE BREAKUP
Hey Kallie and Kassie! This is my first time commenting to any of y’all podcasts so…sorry for the awkwardness of this comment.
Okay, so, when I heard this week’s podcast – Week #52 The Break Up – I laughed when the comment about’s Taylor’s abnormally white and shiny teeth coming up again. And I forget who exactly mentioned, “We need a song to go with this,” because you guys were singing songs according to comments and stuff (rofl, I do that sometimes with my sister too).
Well, I don’t know if you guys know about the cartoon tv series THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS on Nickelodeon, but in there, a character singer, Chip skylark, is obsessed with his “pearly whites”. So, cracking up throught my hunt for this song on youtube, i found the song (sadly not the video, but with clipart) and thought it was an appropriate song to sing when you guys bring up Taylor’s – Jacob’s – teeth again! XD
Here’s the link (hopefully you can see it):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IRdw_Qgwqc
I love the podcast, guys! (Sorry…you must hear that a lot but…I’ll say it anyways. <3) You seem like honest fans and appreciate the work that goes into both the novels and the movies. And have patience with all the fan craze! Thanks for keeping a fan updated with the latest news. Love y’all!

I think he went to Alaska then somewhere in south america (I would guess by a slight chance Esme Isle) and then he traveled through Europe ending in Italy. I know that it’s highly unlikely that Edward did this but it would be pretty awesome if he went to Romania and learned about the history of vampires, or something like that. Love your podcast!!!!
Disneyland lol um i think that he went to be with the rest of the cullens to help his get over bell. I think it almost killed him because of he loves her sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much and would die for her. I also thunk that bella was the same way.She was a major mess and i think it hurt her sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad and she started acting out to help her live. Love the podcast and wedsite im on here like every 5 mins lol .
Well, I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said yet, because we know from the books that A: Edward told Bella about his failed experiment in tracking Victoria (which led him to South America) and B: we know from Stephenie’s website about the attic and “Spanish clamor.” So, it’s no big mystery where he was, in my mind. I do have to say, I love some of the creativity shown here when my fellow listeners say Edward went to be with them! LOL! I’m too straight-forward, I would’ve never thought up something clever like that on my own. Good on ya!
After a bit of thoughtful reflection, I believe Edward was gone for approximately 7 months, right? I think, first, he actually would have done everything he could to take care of his family. After all, HE was the drive that made them uproot and live somewhere else. So I think he would’ve made sure they were all taken care of, *then* he would’ve gone hunting after Victoria. Which makes me wonder, why not hunt Laurent? But if he did hunt Laurent, he’d find him back near Forks, Laurent would’ve been nowhere near Bella (because Edward would’ve taken care of L on his home turf), the wolves wouldn’t have had the chance to kill him, then the whole Irina-seeks-her-revenge thing wouldn’t have happened, and there’d be no plot to Breaking Dawn. lol. So, I think after taking care of the family, Edward begun his hunt of Victoria, was severly misled, and then wallowed in his pit of depression and agony until Rosalie made that fateful phone call. My big question is (see, now you got me thinking and theorizing and I’m way off track) is why didn’t Alice see Rosalie making those phone calls that Edward ignored? Rosalie called his cell several times before he finally answered it. But Alice was with Bella, absorbing the train wreck Bella had become, and she was dealing with the proximity of the wolves. We know her vision isn’t flawless, but I do wonder what prevented her from seeing Rosalie’s calls to Edward.
Can’t say it enough, I LOVE THE PODCAST!!! Keep it up!!!
I’m re-reading my post and realized if Edward had killed Laurent, that really would’ve spiced things up. That would have seriously split up the Denali clan! I mean, they were all ticked the wolves killed L in the first place, but if it had been Edward, hmmm, now I want to be Alice and see the future if that’s the path Edward had chosen!
I think he went to several differnt places becasue she told bella that he was trying tacking. And at first I think Bella was in a daze not really grasping the fact that he was really gone, but then after a week she realized that he was gone and there was nothing she could do about it. Very sad 🙁
if you read the out takes on stephenie’s site, it says that he tracked victoria to texas, followed a false lead to south america, and that was where he was the whole time, holed up in the crawling spaces under houses, and attics, feeling really really really depressed
Edward was chillin’ with Philip Seymour Hoffman, best actor EVER.
Edward went chasing after Victoria so he proberly was traveling all over the map falling false leads, never settling on one location more then 3 days or so. I hated Bella’s reaction. I think she did not fight; I do realize it was because she had low self esteem and never felt she had any right to love Edward or that Edward could never truely love you completly but I would put up a good fight and made no promises. It’s proberly the one scene that I cried and became as depressed as Bella.
Well, if you remember Edward did tell Bella that he was trying to track Victoria. So he was all over trying to track her but he said he was no good at it. He also said that he was so depressed about leaving her and couldn’t go on without her he curled up in a hole and was devastated. He probably did rely on his instincts as a vampire more during that time because he was not himself. He said that it was just as dark of a time for him as it was for Bella. I can understand why Bella would have reacted the way she did, teenager or not. I’m a married woman for a lot of years and to think of me being without my soul mate and my one and only true love would make me become numb. That in itself is extremely difficult. I do believe that if there was a way for me to hear him or see him while he was gone I would take every chance I had even if it meant doing something out of the ordinary and dangerous just to hear what he may have to say about what I was doing. That would bring me hope. I can see how it would bring her some peace by knowing that she had not just imagined the months that they had together and that it wasn’t just a dream or her imagination. I can see how she would just go through the motions of day to day activities, almost as if she’s not even there.
I had a really hard time with New Moon. I felt as though I took on Bella’s character. Her pain, sorrow, even her somewhat happiness. It was very depressing but still kept me intrigued to find out what was to happen. Because in the end I still had hope. I think Bella always still had a little bit of hope, no matter how well hidden. She loved Edward with all of her heart and soul.
Ok, so my theory is pretty much similar to the ones above me. I think Edward escaped to Italy, where he probably lived a depressed and agonized life, since he was away from Bella.But we have no way to make sure. One thing I know is that, he was not around people. If you have read the New Moon outtakes, there is one entitled “Rosalie” in which Rosalie calls Edward and tells him about Bella’s ‘supposed’ death. The outtake states that Edward was alone,hiding in dark places, without caring for anything but Bella.
Also when Edward told Bella he was leaving he said ” My kind is easily distracted”. I can get how Bella might have interpreted it, but I don’t get what Edward meant by that. Maybe he knew that Bella might think the way she did and just said it to make the whole ordeal much more easier.
I am so proud of Bella. When Edward said that he did not want her, she accepted the fact easily, as if she had known it all along that he would get tired of her and want someone much more beautiful.
Her reaction after he was gone was, however, uncalled for, especially for me. Yes she was devastated ,broken, and detached from everthing and anything which reminded her of him, but still she picked herself up or atleast made the effort to do so, for the sake of her father and her friends. I would never had done that bearing in mind what a huge impact he would have had on my life ( hypothetically ofcourse =)).
Anywho, loving the podcasts and the website. Thanks for all the efort you ladies are doing to give us the best in the twilight world.Love you, Bye
P.S. i know this sounds crazy, but please read my comment. Thanks
Well, lets be realistic about this. I am sure Edward pretty much holed himself up in self pitty for abandoning Bella. As much danger as she was in being in such close proximity to a vampire family all the time, Edward had to know that without his guarding her, something bad would happen. I dont think he went to stay with the Denalis. With Alices vision and his “hearing” skills, he would know that she would tip him off to any impending danger to Bella. I think he probably went somewhere where he could take out his anger and frustrations on a much more challanging meal than Elk….like Lions or something. Or more likely, he didnt care about eating at all and just went somewhere, anywhere, that he could sulk alone in the dark……until he got the call from Rosalie and made his rash decision to go to Vultera.
As for Bella….I dont think it was all that healthy the way she reacted to the situation. A certain amount of drama and sadness and sulking would have been warrented for both her age and the extreme situation. But going out of her way to put herself in harms way was in no way sane….whether what she thought she heard was really Edwards voice or a figment of her pain and imagination combined. But we all know that bella doesn’t always make the best decisions. She kind thinks from her heart more than her brain.
